ASD(C3I) Memorandum of 26 February 2003 on Guidance for Computer Network Defense Response Actions IASE Web Page
Each component within DoD has personnel responsible for managing and defending their respective computer systems and networks. When there is an attack on DoD networks, these personnel take those actions necessary to restore service and defend against the attack. Primarily, this involves notifying law enforcement of suspected criminal activity, notifying counterintelligence elements if there appears to be a foreign threat, and taking appropriate actions necessary to restore service and protect against subsequent attacks. The ASD\(C3I\) \(now NII\) Memorandum, Guidance for Computer Network Defense Response Actions, dated 26 Feb 03, outlines the limits of permissible response actions by level \(Tier 1, 2 or 3\) and sets out the requisite approval authorities for such actions. It is very important that local JAGs and legal advisors become familiar with the CNDRA policy. Because the policy is FOUO, it could not be included within these materials, but you may link to it with your PKI certificate at the IASE web page.
